Uh huh.

I’m not afflicted by Clinton mania, as so many on the Right are. We tend to forget the better politician in the Clinton family on his best day politically failed to draw 50% of the votes cast in 96.

You can make a viable argument the Clinton ‘era’ was a historical accident brought on by Bush Senior’s insane decision to raise taxes.

“the better politician in the Clinton family”

Clinton couldn’t keep his thing in his pants. Hillary doesn’t have that problem.

“You can make a viable argument the Clinton ‘era’ was a historical accident brought on by Bush Senior’s insane decision to raise taxes.”

The biggest mistake Ronald Reagan ever made was agreeing to have George H.W. Bush as his Vice President. The Reagan people did not really want him, but felt they needed a moderate to balance the ticket.

Unfortunately, Bush was able to insert many of his own people into the Reagan Administration, including James Baker as Chief of Staff. Reagan, IMO, would have been a much better President had he chosen someone else as V.P. Instead, Reagan’s conservatism came to be watered down.

George H.W. Bush deserved to be driven from office. The legacy of the Bush family is that they were able to hijack the Conservative movement in the GOP and steer power back to the Romney/Rockefeller wing.
